Show # 232 - Managing Violence with Joe Saunders #theviolenceguy 
This week Mike interviews Joe Saunders - a short introduction from Joe as follows: 
"My name is Joe Saunders. I’m the host of the Managing Violence Podcast and the Victorian state manager for Risk 2 Solution Group. I’m also a behavioral science nerd. I am fascinated by the subject of communication and de-escalation training, particularly as it applies to aggression management and workplace violence prevention. My journey to this profession wasn’t through the typical academic or law enforcement route, and I believe that gives me a unique view on an age-old problem.
As a young man and avid martial artist, I found myself taking work as a nightclub bouncer to pay my way through university. What I soon found was that while my physical martial arts came in handy more often than I’d like to admit, it was my ability to communicate under pressure and find common ground with aggressive people that was my most important skill. In fact, I began to see my ability to talk to anyone as my most important martial art."
